In reply to Effexor for Hot Flashes, posted by krc on August 5, 2004, at 18:38:11
> My obgyn is suggesting effexor for hot flashes @37.5 per day for 1 week, then increase to 75mg per day if needed. Has anyone had any experience with using it for this purpose. Reading all the withdrawal side effects is causing me some concern...however, perhaps those are due to the higher doses. thx
I have been on 37.5 mg and 75 mg. of Effexor but it did not stop my hot flashes. Going off of Effexor can be quite difficult as well. Maybe it will help you but it is not without risk.-K
